Achieve and maintain luscious lips with this simple guide! xoxo

I love my lips, they are one of my favourite features and because they are so important to me, I protect them. Our lips are prone to become dry in both warm and adverse weather conditions so it is important to shield them from the affects of good and bad weather. Exfoliating once a week will remove dead skin and help maintain soft, smooth lips. To exfoliate your lips you will need to mix sugar and a few drops of water until the mixture is at an applicable texture. Once this is complete cover your lips with the mixture and using a soft toothbrush; lightly brush your lips applying small circular motions. Once you are satisfied this is complete, splash a some cold water on your lips, to remove the remaining sugar; then rub a coat of Vaseline on your lips to lock in the moisture.

Now that you have completed the exfoliation process you need to maintain your lips so they stay soft and smooth. To do this you will need to apply a thick coat of Vaseline before you go to bed at night, this is important because the Vaseline will moisturise your lips while you sleep. Further to this when you wake up in the morning gently wipe away any excess Vaseline. After brushing your teeth splash your lips with cold water and apply a coat of Vaseline to your lips to lock in moisture.

Important

It is important you use a soft toothbrush, using a medium of hard toothbrush is too harsh for your lips and can result in your lips being permanently discoloured.

Try not to lick your lips, instead apply Vaseline or a lip balm if you think they are becoming dry. Licking your lips does not apply moisture to your lips it dries then out.

Drinking lots of water is a good way to improve your digestion, stay healthy and make your lips look plumper and smoother
